This trail can be ridden either way, but is more difficult if ridden clockwise, as the climb has tighter turns and some rocky, rooty sections. Counter-clockwise is an easier climb. Also the descent is flowier if ridden clockwise. Links with Mark's Trail and Geezer.

Access Info

Start at Amanda's trailhead on the north end of the trail system, climb the steep fireroad, converted to singletrack to Leap-frog Loop.
